  • the retracting mechanism 34 which is arranged on one of the second rails 30 of the furniture system 20 and can therefore be used to represent the second rail 30, is shown at a retracted position P with respect to the fixing member 36, which is part of the corresponding first rail 28 and can therefore be used to represent the corresponding first rail 28. That is to say, in the state shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , the second rail 30 corresponding to the retracting mechanism 34 is at the retracted position P with respect to the first rail 28 corresponding to the fixing member 36.
  • the catching feature 68 of the catching member 42 of the retracting mechanism 34 is engaged with the fixing portion 38 of the fixing member 36 of the first rail 28.

  • one of the body 40 and the catching member 42 is moved with respect to the other in a first direction D1.
  • the body 40 is moved in the first direction D1 with respect to the catching member 42 due to the fact that the catching member 42 is engaged with the fixing portion 38 of the fixing member 36 of the first rail 28.
  • the resilient member 48 accumulates an elastic restoring force in a second direction D2 in response to the movement of the body 40, wherein the second direction D2 is the opposite direction of the first direction D1.

  • the buffer rod 84 of the buffer device 50 is gradually extended with respect to the cylinder 82.
  • the second shaft 66 of the catching member 42 is moved along the linear section 58a of the second path 54 of the body 40 and thus approaches the second bent section 58b gradually, and the supporting portion 74 of the supporting member 46 is moved along the guiding section 55 of the first path 52 of the body 40 and thus approaches the first bent section 57 gradually.
  • the supporting portion 74 of the supporting member 46 is preferably pressed against the guiding section 55 so as to approach the first bent section 57 progressively along the guiding section 55 (see FIG. 9 ).
  • the second shaft 66 of the catching member 42 can be further moved along the linear section 58a of the second path 54 of the body 40 to approach the second bent section 58b gradually.
  • the supporting portion 74 of the supporting member 46 is pivoted with respect to the connecting member 44 along the guiding section 55, enters the first bent section 57, and becomes engaged with the first engaging portion 60. In other words, the supporting portion 74 of the supporting member 46 is moved from the guiding section 55 of the first path 52 of the body 40 into engagement with the first bent section 57 (see FIG. 9 and FIG. 11 ).
  • the supporting portion 74 of the supporting member 46 is engaged with the first engaging portion 60 of the body 40 to enable the body 40 to overcome the elastic restoring force of the resilient member 48, which force acts in the second direction D2. That is to say, with the supporting portion 74 of the supporting member 46 engaged with the first engaging portion 60 and serving as a fulcrum to provide leverage, the operating force required to be applied to the second rail 30 or the body 40 can be reduced, allowing the operator to move the second rail 30 or the body 40 in the first direction D1 with ease (see FIG. 13 ).
  • the catching member 42 is pivoted with respect to the connecting member 44 and is thereby disengaged from the fixing portion 38 of the fixing member 36 of the first rail 28, and the second shaft 66 of the catching member 42 is engaged with the second engaging portion 62 of the body 40.
  • the catching member 42 is moved from the linear section 58a of the second path 54 of the body 40 into engagement with the second bent section 58b (see FIG. 15 ) to maintain the elastic restoring force of the resilient member 48, which force acts in the second direction D2.
  • the supporting member 46 is further pivoted with respect to the connecting member 44, and the buffer rod 84 of the buffer device 50 is fully extended with respect to the cylinder 82 into a buffer-ready state.
  • the second rail 30 is retracted with respect to the first rail 28 in the second direction D2 until the retracted position P is reached, and the body 40 is thus retracted in the second direction D2 to the retracted position P with respect to the catching member 42 (the process of which can be understood by referring sequentially to FIG. 12 , FIG. 10 , FIG. 8 , and FIG. 6 ).
  • the buffer device 50 provides a buffering effect during the process of retraction toward the retracted position P.
  • the buffering mechanism is well known in the art, a detailed description thereof is omitted herein for the sake of brevity.
